Here. Quick. Slip under my cloak of boringness. No one will even notice we're gone.
ok, it's official. me and katie are "bette and tina", circa 2004, season 1, episode 7. lemme esplain...
me and katie went out with 4 of her coworkers saturday night. (read: WORST NIGHT OUT OF MY LIFE!!! ) one was a bi-female who's in a heterosexual marriage with children. one was a gay guy who's out, one was a gay guy who thinks everyone believes he's straight and *****fuses to come out, one is a straight/gay/bi girl who looks like a tranny and doesn't realize she's gay/bi and is in a heterosexual marriage with children and then there's me and katie. and the 6 of us went to a gay club.
this was my first time EVER at a gay club/bar/whatever. it was a loooong drive down to b'ham and the people in the car were extremely annoying. we were actually in a pick-up truck (the kind with a backseat) and the three people in the front (the two guys and the bi-female) kept switching the radio station after 30 seconds like they have add or something and totally BLASTING it so the people in the backseat couldn't talk or hear what THEY were talking about or anything. and when they would turn it down enough for everybody to talk the only thing anybody wanted to talk about was friggin' rent-a-center!!! (since that's where they all work.)
nobody talked to me AT ALL. nobody introduced themselves to me and when i was introduced to them they didn't say "hi, nice to meet you.", "fuck you.", "love your outfit!", "hi, i'm _____." NOTHING! in fact, the one guy that was "out" didn't even make eye contact with me when we were introduced!! i said hi to him and he looked through and around me and didn't say anything!!! so that kind of hurt my feelings and got us off on the wrong foot right there. and then while they were all talking about rent-a-center and i had nothing to add to the conversation and was staring out the window waiting for the time to pass katie kept looking at me and asking what was wrong and telling me to not be mad. well, i WASN'T mad. i was just... BORED. and then her continuing to ask me what was wrong (over and over and OVER!!!!) was making me mad.
so we get there, get our forms all filled out and get inside and we find this neat little alcove near the bar with a table and some bar stools and we all gathered right there. plenty of room, plenty of seating for those that wanted to sit, plenty of room to stand and dance for those who wanted to stand and dance and close enough to see the stage for the drag show that was going on right then.
well, soon as we get sitting down and star****ching the show a couple of people from our group walked off and then came back and told us to all come "over here" because there's more room and tables/chairs, etc. so we grab our stuff and walk over there and there's only one table with one chair and NO room for us to even STAND right there! so i got pissed off about that and went back to the place where we were. katie followed me and asked what was wrong (AGAIN!!!) and i told her that there simply isn't enough room for us over there so i came back to where there WAS room. so she sat with me and we watched the show and the people, etc BY OURSELVES!!! no one came and asked us where we were or why we weren't hanging out with them or anything!!!
after about an hour and a half the straight/gay/bi girl who looks like a tranny texted katie and asked her where we were and katie told her and told her why. 30 minutes later (we'd been there for two hours at this point!) she comes over to us and is totally plastered and offers us a cigarette. katie and i quit smoking on new year's day. neither one of us has had so much as a drag all year.
finally around 3:30 am we round up the others and tell them that we're really tired and we want to go home now. (we were told in the beginning that we were going to leave at 2 am and that's the only reason we even agreed to go.) me and katie get out to the truck and there's nobody behind us! we wait and wait and finally i stomp off back to the club telling katie that i'm going to snatch somebody bald if they don't hurry the **** up and come on!!! the whole time she's telling me to be nice to these people because she has to work with them, blah, blah, blah. ok, fine. i'll be nice. BUT THEY'D BETTER COME THE **** ON!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
we find them inside playing a video game because they're waiting on brian (the open gay guy) to buy a cd. IT TOOK 30 MINUTES FOR HIM TO GET A DAMN CD!!!!! meanwhile katie had gotten the keys and me and her were sitting in the backseat of the truck under my coat SHIVERING and waiting for them to come on. so finally everybody gets in the truck and nobody's talking to ME (still) so when somebody says "man, that was fun! we should do that again sometime, i had so much goddamn fun in there! didn't you?" i took that as an opening and said what i'd been thinking all night and what i'd been wishing i'd done INSTEAD "i would've had more fun and spent less money doing laundry tonight." the whole truck got quiet and heidi (the straight/gay/bi girl who looks like a tranny) looked at me and said "really?" duh! yeah asshole! why the hell did you invite us to come with y'all if you were just going to snub us the whole night? dumb *****!
so me and katie have decided that we're just too boring to have friends. we don't like going out with people like that because it's just too much. and everyone in the club (with the exception of me and katie and this one other lesbian couple) was like caricatures of stereotypical "loud and proud" folks, yanno? it was crazy! i wasn't the least bit shocked or offended by anything that i saw though. in fact, i felt very comfortable in the club itself. but i realized that **I** am not that person. **I** am not the one who goes out clubbin' and partying every night and grabbing people's crotches and "doing" them right at the bar, etc. **I** am not the one wearing fishnets and lingerie with "******pumps" and gaudy make-up and dancing like some kind of sex-starved nympho to something as benign as garth brooks's "the dance". omgs, can you imagine??? GEEZ!!!
That sounds like a pretty bad night to me. Some people can be so rude and self centered. I am not a typical "clubber" but I do like to go to them. They can be really fun If you go with the right people and the right ones.
I remember going to a club called velvet in Hollywood and the people in the club were so rude!! I went outside for a few minutes and this one girl was waving at me , I was kind of confused, so I kind of waved back(she was on the phone) and all of a sudden she spits her gum out and it flies within inches of me, and then she has the nerve to tell the person that she was talking to on the phone that "she was telling me to move and that I didn't so I must have wanted gum on me".
WHAT A *****!!! If she was a guy I would have clocked her there and then!! There were so many places she could have put that gum, trash can, floor.....UP HER ASS!!! And not only that, but the people at that club were so self centered and vain, I would try to be friendly to people by making small talk and they would look at me like "Excuse me but...YOU'RE hitting on me?!?!" Don't you know what the difference between small talk and flirting is???
But there is one club I like where the people are friendlier and I enjoy myself and that was a club called "Miss Kitty's" Hot Go Go Dancers, good music. So yeah, each club is different, don't give up on them because some people are jerks. You can find some that you like..just visit a few and you will find something good.
i think we would've had a really good time if it had either been JUST us or us and other people we know and like. the club looked like a lot of fun really! (and i KNOW i'd have had a BLAST if i'd been single, lols!!! )
and omgs!!! that's friggin' insane about that girl and her gum! **** i'm such a ***** that i'd have picked her gum up and followed her around until i could somehow get it lodged in the back of her hair right near her scalp, roflmao!!! but... that's just ME
I know, it's great isn't it?!?!! I would go there regularly before when I was thinner. Maybe at the end of this year I will feel up to it again!! Cool clubs! There was this one go-go dancer that was masculine and cute, but also would wear a little make up....oh god...I was in heaven just looking at him. Maybe once I am done losing weight I will ask him out!!
Wow, that sounded like one boring ass night. I honestly don't think you're too boring to have friends/go out, but I think the people you two were hanging out with have NOTHING in common with you two. (I know, I'm Captain Obvious!) Time to find some more interesting friends. You have a right to be pissed. I'm still laughing @ the "snatch someone bald" comment. ROFL!
lols, we're probably going to go back sometime after we've finished moving and bring people with us that we DO have things in common with (other than an "alternative lifestyle" or whatever pc term you want to use.) we have several friends that we're talking to about that right now so i'll keep y'all posted
